THE GOVERNOR..
The Governor is always on the
look out for the good of the poor
man when there is a Biinp in it
for him. He is now agitating' the
question of culling the legislature
together for the purpose of passing
a law to stay executions one year.
Aside from -the doiuagogism of the
move, this is a question well
worth earnest consideration. It is
uiiauubtedly true that to attempt
toenfuree judgments already had
and those to be had within the
next year, would well nigh hank'
rujit . the people. Money is So
scarce, th-it even honest effort can
not ecure it. I'eople who would
pay eannot now do so, and with
whnat and oata belowt'ne cost of
production, tnere is nothing but
distress before the fanners end
laborers. Merchants would like
wise lie greatly relieved by this
one year f grace. In fact, the
great majority of the people would
be benefitted "by 'it.' Still, this, as
all other devices, would injure
many while it favored many. The
costs of an extra session would be
an iioui to be considerd.
Lebanon has the best svstem of
electric lights end water works of
anv city in the s'.ateof its si:e.
CONGRESS.
Congress b asnow been in sess
ion several days, but no one can
safely predict what will be the re-
suit of its labors. The democrats
are hopelessly divided on the
money question and the republi
cans seem inclined to let their op
""tupents fight it out among them
selves, which is natural. Con
gress evidently wants the Sher
man law repealed, but this will
not lie done nnless some other
law, favorable to silver, is agreed
upon. All is deubt and uncertain
ly. -

Both are closely allied to the pres

Let our Republican friends re
member that all the calamity they
are houling about is here under
the laws passed by a Congress of
their owjymd signed by rrosment
Harrison. The responsibility
rests upon their shoulders and not
upon the Democrats, but it is a
bad time to stop now and inquire
who did it. 1 be first thing should
be a removal of the causes and
then quarrel afterwards.
The State of Iowa, in which
there have been no bank failures,
pro luced in 1891, butter to the
value of 133,748,198; crops wers
alued at $loo,363,483; and hay
and corn to the value of $146,518-,
58;i. Her combined products ex
ceed the value of the total output
of sold, pntrnleum, silver, anthra
cite cuai auu pig iron in the Unit
d States. There was no protect
ion on Iowa,s products and this is
sufficient explanation why there
fcave beeu no bank failures to rec
ord in' that state. Ex.
This is a most excellent time
fur investment in Lebanon' real
estate. Good property can now be
bought here and hereabouts much
.cheaper than it will brine in the
near future. Prudent and fore
handed people will buy now, and
not wait until inevitable advances
come. There is no property on
earth surer of reasonable returns
than Lebanon real estate at pres
ent prices.
The way to make times bard
auu money scarce, is to lock it np.
Don't spend a cent, stop public at
well as private improvements and
throw men oat of employment.
This is the policy advocated by
the alarmist and financial coward
